Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,Well the music plays and you displayYour heart for me to see,I had a beer and now I hear youCalling out for meAnd I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhereAnd I wonder, should I offer you a chair?Well if you sit down with this old clown,Take that frown and break it,Before the evening's gone away,I think that we could make it, And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a manThese old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,Well I turn around to look at you,You light a cigarette,I wish I had the guts to bum one,But we've never met, And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,And it being late, you'd like some some company,Well I turn around to look at you,And you look back at me,The guy you're with has up and split,The chair next to you's free, And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading outLast call for drinks, I'll have another stout.Well I turn around to look at you,You're nowhere to be found,I search the place for your lost face,Guess I'll have another roundAnd I think that I just fell in love with you.
